Academic Rigor

My teachers are very determined we learn things. I'm hoping to take earlier classes next semester.

Owens Community College has wonderful teachers that use technology and in-classroom time to blend the way we learn. Easy application process with easy registration for classes, helped me work my schedule around my son's. Parking can be an issue but I'm told it will get better.

In three sentences

owens is a great college. there are many programs to choose from. the class sizes are smaller than a university.

Dorm Life

This is not applicable for this college, but the social life on campus is great.

Academic Rigor

Just because it is a community colleges does not mean that it is easy. There is a large amount of school work in some classes. Moreover, the online courses tend to require people to take more time completing the work than courses that are taken on campus.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure that you do not procrastinate on your school work. Once you get behind, it can be difficult to catch up and get good grades.

In three sentences

This is a great beginning level college. There are a large amount of opportunities that let people get involved in the college available. Furthermore, the professors are willing to help you succeed as long as you are willing to put the effort in.

Marla from Jerry City, OH

There are a lot of student groups to get involved in. Every year the teachers host a breakfast for all the students. I really enjoy going to that because you can meet new people!

Food and Dining

There is a grill that provides breakfast and lunch. There are a variety of options to choose from. My only complaint would be that they have longer hours. When you have a class later in the day you are out of luck.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at this community college.

Academic Rigor

It depends of which course you are taking. Microbiology is one of the toughest courses here. There is a lot of information to get through in a little amount of time. But the teacher makes it as easy as possible by giving you all the information you need.

Use all the resources you have. The math center is great and everyone is friendly. There is a science center that has everything you could need to study the materials for your courses.

Tips for prospective students

If you're considering attending Owens, make sure you have a plan and stick to it. It's easy to get distracted by all the classes offered and knock yourself off course.

In three sentences

Owens Community College is a good place to take your basic courses before transferring to a four-year school. It has a wide variety of courses available. It also has many opportunities for those who struggle with certain subjects in the form of tutoring and help labs with extended hours.

Some classes are very difficult. The medical imaging programs and nursing are the most difficult to get accepted to and study.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you know what you want to do. Changing majors is possible but expensive. Getting accepted into a program is hard. Do the work, get the grades, and get accepted. No one will do it for you. Talk to other students and the the head of the department you want to be a part of, that is the only way to get answers you need.

In three sentences

Owens is an okay school. If you plan to continue your education, or need to fill up some time, this is your place. The advisors are not very helpful and don't always know the answers to your questions if it is a specific study. The instructors at night are not as into the students as the paycheck it's just a job to them.

Great for these types of students

OWENS IS A GREAT CHOICE FOR THE FOLLOWING TYPED OF STUDENTS: 1.)STUDENTS WANTING TO COMPLETE THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF A BACHELORS DEGREE AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF A UNIVERSITY. 2.) STUDENTS ONLY SEEKING A 2 YEAR DEGREE. 3.) STUDENTS WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTANCE LEARNING.

Bang for the buck

THE TUITION FOR IN STATE RESIDENTS IS FAIRLY LOW. THE ADDITION OF THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF ONLINE CLASSES AVAILABLE AND THE FLEXIBILITY OF ON CAMPUS CLASSES MAKES OWENS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE A SMART BUY.

What to do for fun

OWENS HAS A WONDEFRFUL INTRANET SITE FOR STUDENTS CALLED OZONE. ONCE LOGGED ON THERE IS A LIST OF CAMPUS EVENTS AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. FOR A STUDENT WHO WANTS TO UNWIND, IT IS A FAST WAY TO SEE OPTIONS FOR STUDENT MINGLING.

Tips for prospective students

THEIR ARE TWO MAJOR TIPS I WOULD GIVE TO ANY PROSPECTIVE STUDENT. THE FIRST TIP I WOULD GIVE IS TO SPEAK WITH AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR, AND ALLOW THEM TO HELP PLAN HE OR SHE'S CLASS SCHEDULE. A MISTAKE I MADE WHEN I FIRST ENTERED COLLEGE YEARS AGO WAS TO NOT SEEK HELP IN ME EDUCATIONAL PLANNING. I BELIEVE THIS WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR CAUSES OF MY LACK OF SUCCESS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. THE SECOND TIP WOULD BE TO KEEP HIS OR HER PRIORITIES STRAIT. OTHER THAN FAMILY, SCHOOL NEEDS TO COME FIRST. MISSING OUT ON A FEW SOCIAL ACTIVITIES WILL BE MUCH LESS DISAPOINTING THAN THE DISAPOINTMENT OF FAILING CLASSES OR DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL.

In three sentences

OWENS HAS A VERY FLEXIBLE CLASS SCHEDULE IS THAT IS WONDERFUL FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT A LOT OF FREE TIME, LIKE ME. THEIR ONSITE DAYCARE IS NOT ONLY CONVENIENT,BUT RAN BY CAREGIVERS WHO DON'T TREAT MY CHILD AS A JOB.

I am a very non traditional college student, in that my age is not the normal fresh out of high school age. When I joined the Owens Community College culture, I found that the price was quite a bit lower than other colleges that I might consider. I look at the instructors as working for me, the student. I am pleased with my bang for my buck. I have been given a great return on investiment.

Almost weekly there are several events that are posted on the Ozone website, on email and on campus flyers. One cannot say that there is not much to do at Owens Community College.

The food and dining at Owens Community College is not like any other campus that I have been on. The quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff is quite pleasing.

Dorm Life

This does not apply to Owens but I find that the social life there on campus is quite beneficial to the whole college experience.

Academic Rigor

The academic rigor is very balanced. I find that we all are under the same timeframe, we all have the same classwork to complete, along with the instructor therefore we need to use our time wisely.

Tips for prospective students

I would encourage prospective students to ask a lot of quesitons, to put forth the effort in studying and to dedicate themselves to connecting with their instructors. The instructors are there to help the students. Ask questions.

In three sentences

small class sizes make it easy to get any help you may need from your professors. the online classes are a convenient way to satisfy course requirements. the campus is easy to find your way around and convenient to get to, for me at least, though the parking can be a challenge, especially in the beginning of a semester.

Owens has a gallery one can go through, a theater to attend, and there is a work out room

Great for these types of students

All! ;)

Tips for prospective students

Check out the campus and see how you like it. I would recommend getting a head-start in the registration process. This saves you from a lot of stress and you get to plan out a great schedule, rather than shaping your schedule around the few classes that are left (if there are any)!

Bang for the buck

I am so thrilled that I won't have any out of the pocket expense, thanks to grants and loans. Even if I had, it would be a tiny fraction of the cost of a larger University. Owens provides all the luxuries of a University at a Community College price. You know the saying, you get what you pay for. Well in this case, I'd say you get far more than what you pay for! Great college, great prices, what's more to ask for?

Am enjoying being here

One thing I really enjoy about Owens is the class size. I was surprised to find that most of my classes only had about 20 students in each. I was even more surprised to find that I felt more comfortable in the smaller class environment. I felt that I wasn't going to be overlooked and that my academic efforts would stand out more.

Am learning a lot

Although this is my first year at Owens (and first college experience, for that matter), I am thoroughly enjoying the experience thus far. I chose Owens because I wanted something that wasn't going to eat away at my pocket book but would also give me a solid foundation before I transfered to complete my degree.

Samantha from Toledo, OH

The Maumee- Arrowhead campus I would say is great for students who do well with small classes and more teacher:student time.

Tips for prospective students

Research the teachers, make sure you have time for homework, and ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand something that your instructor is saying.

Bang for the buck

At $131 and change a credit hour, paying for 4 credit hours and only using 1 is a little rediculous, and I wish that I would not have to pay for the hours that the teacher is no using, but other than that, I absolutely love the school.

Am enjoying being here

I go to the new Owens campus in Maumee at Arrowhead, but the teachers are the same as at any campus. My Humanities teacher, Mr. Eric Reed, is one of the best, most fun teachers I have ever had, and is extremely exceptional at making real word examples; as is my Math teacher Mr. Paul Pertner. I would highly reccomend either of those teachers.

Am learning a lot

Although I am currently taking 'refresher' courses, I can now retain what I'm learning better. The teachers here help you to understand what they're saying, and do not just teach using one learning style.

Great for these types of students

* Self-motivated; though help is available, Owens really helps you to become more independent and in control of your learning experience. *Artsy; Owens has a great art department. I'm in photography and have learned so much from each class. Each area in the art department has great instructors. You can see their work in the annual Instructors Art Show in our gallery and it really shows their talents and why they're teaching what they're teaching.

Tips for prospective students

Don't assume classes will be easier just because it is a Community College. The teachers here want to see you at your best, and they push you to attain this. Work your best and use the resources that are available to you on campus such as our great Library. The staff is helpful and there are many books on important topics that can help immensely with Composition classes.

Bang for the buck

Tuition rates have gone up since I've been here. Despite this, it is still much, much cheaper than many other universities. For the amount you learn and the resources available to you, I still believe I'm getting the full bang for my buck.

Am enjoying being here

Though small this school has so much to offer. There is always something going on around campus whether it be a sporting event, organization or club event, or just something fun like Karaoke. Whatever your interests are, you are sure to find something you will like and relate to at this school. I also enjoy being there because you really get the opportunity to get to know new people. Since it's fairly small, you have many of the same students in your classes. It makes class more enjoyable and easier to participate in.

Am learning a lot

At Owens the teachers really strive for you to be at your best. They help as much as they can, and because they've usually worked in the field they're teaching, you can learn many things from them. I'm in my second year here and feel like I've learned more than I thought possible at the Community College level.

Valerie from Toledo, OH

Owens is good for students who are paying for school on their own or are not sure of their major yet, and for those getting associates degrees.

Tips for prospective students

Get invovled, try to talk to people in class. Make a point of studying, and of coming to class, because many teachers take attendance and because that is the easiest way to make sure you know what is going on. Get to classes a few minute early because teachers typically start on time and if you are a few minutes late you could miss important announcements and some notes.

Bang for the buck

Owens cost less than $4,000 a year, and if you get grants or scholarships, it is extremely affordable. I recieved a grant for a little over half of my tuition and have been able to pay out of pocket until this semester.

Am enjoying being here

Because it is a commuter school, most people leave after classes, and espeically in lectures, people don't really talk to each other. If you want to have friends in lectures you have to go out of your way to talk to people a little. Labs are pretty fun though because you make friends with the people you work with. I try to use the gym, which makes Owens more enjoyable. But if you simply go to classes, Owens is not that enjoyable to be at.

Am learning a lot

How well the class is taught depends on the teacher and varies greatly. Many classes put up notes in a powerpoint format, and in order to fully learn the material you have to study and make sense of the notes given. This especially applies to science classes. Also, if you struggle with understand the information in class, it really helps to read throught the examples given in the book. It is also helpful to do homework, even if it isn't assigned because it helps you to grasp the concept. This especially applies to math classes.

Anthony from Pandora, OH

This college is great for people who want to learn by lecture AND hands on work. The courses integrate both of these aspects.

Tips for prospective students

No matter what you choose to do, do your best at it. If you are thinking about going to OCC, you will find that it offers great learning opportunities and a sound environment to learn in.

Bang for the buck

Tuition was cheap, lab fees were reasonable. Consumables were not restricted unreasonably.

Am enjoying being here

As previously stated, the instructors were all very helpful. They were all respectful and showed care in what they did. This made for an easier learning environment that I was comfortable with and could learn well in.

Am learning a lot

Classroom ratios are nice. Most classes were 1 teacher to 10 students. Teachers were all very helpful and accommodating. The course was laid out well and every aspect was clear and covered in class.
